AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing medical image acquisition systems for biopsies require the medical worker to search for relevant information during the procedure, affecting execution accuracy due to the lack of stage-specific guidance.
Method used
A medical image acquisition apparatus with a projector that projects stage-specific information, such as the disposing position, needle positions, and anesthesia details directly onto the imaging surface, enhancing the accuracy of the biopsy process.
Benefits of technology
Improves the execution accuracy of biopsies by providing real-time, stage-specific guidance, reducing the burden on medical workers and minimizing errors.

Abstract
A medical image acquisition apparatus including: a biopsy apparatus; an imaging table that is used to capture an image of a living body disposed on an imaging surface with an imaging apparatus; a projector that projects the image; and at least one processor, wherein the processor performs control of projecting relevant information associated with each execution stage of a biopsy that is performed on the living body using the biopsy apparatus, from the projector toward the imaging surface of the imaging table for each execution stage.
